PORT ST. JOE A Progressive Community With a Modern, Progressive Weekly Newspaper . THE STAR THE STAR Is Devoted To the Con- tinued Development of Port St. Joe and Gulf County "Port St. Joe- The Outlet Port for the Altlachicola-Chattahoochee Valley" VOLUME XIII PORT ST. JOE, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1950 NUMBER 51 Free Publicity Releases Would Make 12 Pages Star Wastebasket Is Loaded Weekly With So-Called 'News' Stories Just out of idle curiosity the pub- lisher of The Star last week laid aside all the so-called "news" re- teases that came into the office in- stead of chucking them into the wastebasket, as is the usual pro- cedure with such "news." We were indeed surprised with the accumulation as we checked it Monday morning. There was a to- tal of 92 pages of mimeographed and printed "releases" which would mak e approximately 966 column- inches of type, or 60.3 columns of reading matter in The Star's short ,columns-the equivalent of better than 12 pages. Out of this deluge of "news" we selected three for what we call our "bull bank"-stories that can be used any time within two or three weeks when we are short of copy. The greater part of the releases came from state agencies, such as state department of education, in- dustrial commission, hotel commis- sion, forest service, etc., etc., while others came from large manufac- turers who place paid advertising In the national magazines and daily newspapers but expect the little country weeklies with little apacle to waste, to publish their blal afout- their products free ot charge. Included, too, were releases from such organizations as the Ameri- can Optometric Association, Na- tional Dairy Council, National Wild Life Federation, Florida Optometric Association, Florida Reserve Offi- cers .Association, Florida Bankers Association, Florida Medical Asso- ciation (it's unethical for doctors (Continued on page 5) Kiwanis Hears TalkJ On Safety Council Member State Industrial Commis- sion Is Guest Speaker At Luncheon Meeting T. J. McIntosh, member of the Florida Industrial Commission, was guest speaker at the luncheoti.meet- ing of the Port St. Joe Kiwanis Club held Wednesday at Hotel St. Joe. Other guests were H. E. Rich- ards, new elementary school prin- cipal; Frank Pate, a new member; J. D. Booth, Jimmy Philyaw, Philip Chatham and M. P. Tomlinson. Mr. McIntosh spoke on the or- ganized safety council and its pro- gram of the control of accidents in Florida. He cited the tremendous loss of life and limb in the state's industries which, he said are mount- ing in number each year yet could be reduced if proper precautions were taken. He told of the field inspection service rendered by the commis- sion, with its engineers trained to visit plants regularly and advise safety methods and make inspec- tions. He also spoke of the educa- tional program in use whereby fore- men and plant executives are given State Beekeepers Meet New Congressmen Even-Stephen Voting In Today In Wewahitchka County Seat, City Election Members of the Tupelo District Unlikely Uhtil '53 In the election held at Wewa- of the Florida Beekeepers Associa- hitchka to name two city commis- tion will meet in Wewahitchka to- Change in Setup of Florida sioners to the five-member board, day for an all-day business and ange In p f Florda, the two retiring commissioners, A. pleasure session.

Plans Go Forward For Kids' Day Fete St. Joe Kiwanis Club Participating In Nationwide Event To Raise Funds for Underprivileged Port St. Joe has joined the parade of cities across the continent that will observe National Kids' Day on Saturday, September 23. Sponsored locally by the Kiwanis Club,-the National Kids' Day cele- bration is designed to focus public attention on the needs of under- privileged children and to raise funds with which to meet these needs. More than 3,150 Kiwanis clubs throughout the United States, Canada, Alaska and Hawaii are planning local celebrations and ac- tivities for Kids' Day. "Plans for observance of this sec- ond annual Kids' Day in St. Joe are rapidly nearing completion," G. F. Lawrence, president of the local Ki- wanis Club, said yesterday. "Theses plans, which will be announced in detail next week in The Star, are aimed at actually trying to do some- thing about the needs of underpriv- ileged youth here in our own com- munity." The St. Joe Kiwanis Club is co- operating with the National Kids' Day Founndation, a non-profit cor- poration which was organized to stimulate a general awareness of youth problems, Lawrence said. Unlike many special days on the calendar, National Kids' Day is not a commercial device, it is pointed out, and the only ones who will profit from it are underprivileged children. Funds raised through ac- tivities in connection with National Kids' Day in Port St. Joe will be spent to benefit underprivileged children in this community. City Occupational Licenses On Sale Will Be Due October 1 and Must Be Secured Before October 31 To Avoid Penalty Clerk Ben Dickens Jr., announces that he is open for business in the way of city occupational licenses, and will be mighty happy to accom- modate anyone who wants to pay up early, as the city can use the dinero. The city charter provides that li- censes are due .October 1 and must be purchased *before October 31 to avoid a penalty. Included are alco- holic beverage licenses, coin oper- ated vending machines, apartment houses, rooming houses, boarding houses, businesses, and professions. All those now holding licenses will portion itself on the basis of the ----- --- federal census, and since the 1950 Long-Time Resident of census will not become official un- til later this year, it will not be City Is Called By Death presented to congress until next ____ year.

"Red Sails In the Sunset," the theme selected by the worthy ma- tron, Ruth Ramsey, for this occa- sion, was evidenced by the nautical setting of the banquet hall, tables representing the ocean, on which sailed beautiful ships with red sails; by colorful floating sea grass and a variety of ,shells along the sea- way; by napkins and place cards continuing the theme, place cards being lovely hand-made ships also carrying red sails; by the floral background of vari- colored sea oats.

The spoken word is lost; the printed word remains. Our Country T Right or Wrong WHERE DO YOU STAND? Basically there are but two political philoso- phies. One sets the citizen above the state-that is what we have had in this country under our representative form of government. The other sets the state above the citizen and results in the oppression that has bedeviled the human race throughout the ages. Currently, socialism and communism represent the ultimate in the latter philosophy. That is why present-day planners who advocate greater and greater government domination over the in- dividual avoid these names like the plague. They promote government ownership of industry, they endorse compulsory medical taxes, they tour the country at the taxpayers' expense in support of federal power "authorities" and constantly harp on the theme that the capabilities of private in- ,dustry are inadequate. Their program from start to finish is socialism, and yet if it is so defined they cry "libelous." Regardless of the sensitivenss of the disguised socialist, it is of the greatest importance to define his aims. If this country is to abandon the sys- tem of government upon which it was founded, let's do it deliberately, not by subterfuge. Looking at things to come, the editor of The Star feels that the time is nearing when the indi- vidual will soon find that it is up to him to either accept the largess of a benvolent government which eventually will place him in a slave sta- tus, or to rise up on his hind legs and state his belief that the only real security for any citizen is his individual freedom of opportunity.

Migratory Bird Regulations About Same As Last Year Season Opens September 15 With Marsh Hens and Gallinules As Fair Game Migratory bird regulations for Florida will remain substantially the same for the 1950-51 season as they were last year, according to the state game and fresh water fish commission. Regulations released to the com- mission by the United States Fish and'Wildlife Service are as follows: Open season on ducks, geese and coots extends from November 27 to .January 5. Hunting permitted from one-half hour before sunrise to one hour before sunset, except on open- ing day, when shooting will begin at 12 noon. Daily bag limit on ducks was set at four, with the bag limit including one wood duck only. Pos- session limit is eight. Daily bag and possession limit on geese was set at two, which can include two Can- ada geese or two white-fronted geese, and in addition three blue geese. Daily bag and possession limit for coot was set at 15. Fed- ,eral duck stamps will be required for the taking of ducks or geese. Hunting season for marsh hens and gallinules extends from Sep- tember 15 to November 13, with hunting permitted from one-half hour before sunrise to sunset. Daily bag and possession limit was set at 15, including a single species or mixed bag. Open season on mourning doves extends from December 17 to Jan- uary 15, except in Dade, Monroe and Broward counties, where the season will extend from October 1 to October 30. Hunting permitted -daily from 12 noon to sunset. Daily bag and possession limit was set at 10. The commission points out that the regulation barring use of auto- matic loading or repeating shot- guns capable of holding more than three shells will continue in effect. Rifles of all kinds are prohibited in the taking of any migratory birds.

GU LF COUNTY, FLORIOAiD FFIDAY, SE PTEMBER 15, 1950 PAGE FIVE Au T R S Test Case May Double Household Utility Costs Purveyors of Public Services Seek- ing Boost On Value of Oper- ating Equipment The supreme court of Florida is coming to grips with a legal prob- lem that may be reflected on every household utility bill in the state. The Florida Railroad and Public Utilities Commission is defending its "fair investment" basis for fix- ing utility rates, with the Jackson- ville Gas Company as the testing vehicle. The gas company, and many of the other utilities of the state are contending that they ought to be allowed to charge rates based on what is called a "present fair value" -that is, w h at their operating equipment would cost if they had to replace it on today's market. The commission is contending that rates ought to be based on what the utility actually paid for its equipment, plus the cost of re- placements, minus the depreciation. If the utility company basis is adopted, the commission says it might result in doubling telephone, gas, electricity and water rates in Florida. GARDEN NOTES PORT ST. JOE GARDEN CLUB Now that September is here, bulb planting may be started. Prepare beds with bone meal, sheep manure and peat humus well before plant- ing. Fresh manure should never be used for bulbs. Most bulbs are planted three times their diameter in depth. After planting,, the soil should be firmed down. Bulbs, gen- erally, will produce finer blooms if fed a complete balanced plant food during the growing season. Medium sized bulbs often establish sooner than jumbo sized ones and usually produce better blossoms first year. Some of the bulbs which can be planted now are narcissus, watson- ias, rain lilies, babiana, callas, free- sias, anemone, spider lily, oxalis, montbretias and ranunculas. A free bulb planting guide for Florida may be obtained from the Martin Seed Store, 202 E. Bay St., Jacksonville. This same store pub- lishes a monthly leaflet called "Martin's Garden News," which is also free. Question: When should shasta daisies be fertilized? Answer: Wait until last of September or October, then dig, divide and reset them.
